Mid Nassau OBGYN Reviews
Amazing experience! It’s obvious he really cares about his patients and makes the whole appointment quick and comfortable
The absolute best there is!!!! Explains everything in a way that makes you comfortable and never gets tired of answering questions. Very personable and his entire staff is phenomenal. Cannot recommend this office and Dr Neuman enough.
Amazing!
The care I received from Dr. Neuman was exceptional! He truly cares about his patients. He listened attentively to my concerns throughout my pregnancy and answered all of my questions in a caring and professional way. His entire staff displayed a high level of professionalism and made me feel comfortable during every visit. After switching to Dr. Neuman (after a bad experience with a different practice during my first pregnancy), I loved Dr. Neuman immediately. I’m the type of patient that questions everything and Dr. Neuman always answered all of my questions. He was never pushy or arrogant like some doctors can be. He was always available if I had a question or concern. He is extremely knowledgeable and I fully trusted him throughout my pregnancy and during my c-section surgery. My recovery was a million times better with Dr. Neuman at Mount Sinai South Nassau - I had an excellent experience during and after my c-section and highly recommend everyone at South Nassau! Dr. Neuman - your expertise and exceptional care have made a real difference. I can't thank you enough for the special, excellent care you have provided and for the unique gift you are to your patients. I am blessed that you were my doctor! Thank you!
He is one of the far best gynecologists I have ever met, very understanding listens takes his time he definitely addressed my issue and cured the problem . He treats everyone like family . Hands down he’s truly the best .
